So I left work early to head to a junkyard to get some switches for my heated seats then I stumbled on this bad boy. So i had to get it. Its always good to have a spare.







Compared to the tranny that came out of my 1999

 

The strange thing is neither my I30 tranny that is installed in my car currently or the tranny that came out of my car have VIN tags. I knew the
I30t tranny I installed last year was purchased new for the car. so maybe that is why there was no vin but my 1999 tranny that came out of the car had also had no VIN tag so i assume it must have been replaced at some poin in time?
my 1999 tranny that was pulled last year

 

My I30 tranny that i currently have installed. Notice no vin tag.

 

Side by side comparison of open diff tranny and non open diff tranny

 

Anyone run the vin?

 

Isnt that something. . . go to pick up some swithces and leave with a tranny!

nice!

 

I got the switches too. They have a huge inventory of I30's I was like a kid in a candy store. I didn't know what i wanted.

 

what junkyard was this?

 

Ooo, you're from Massachusetts, I gotta know where this junkyard is!

 

Dang, I would be too!

 

I still have yet to find a junkyard with anything newer than a 3rd Gen Maxima, and I've been looking around. Where you guys finding this stuff?

 

Looks like it took a beating about two years ago. And it's been around. AZ, SC, MA...

here in jer'z...we're pretty mch fuxered...most of the peopel who have maxima's in this state are old or people who take care of them like crazy, drive them well, and dont smash em up...me personally i've been to about 7 junkyards and i only found 2....Ever....

 

Ther is a junkyard in Bithlo fla that has 4 gen cars, don't know the name, but it is the only one in town,

 

Thanks man. Really appreciate that.
There were 3 other I30t's i counted when i was there and the guy said there were alot more on the hill. A 99 grey on grey leather. really nice combo but side impact air bags and they were deployed so the interior was no good. Everything else with good interiors were stripped since they sell the complete interiors for like $550 which isn't bad. there were a whole bunch of tan interior I30's and a few with black but like i said the interior was gone. I am going to go back for a trunk mat i saw from an I30t. it was a bit wet so i pulled it out and layed it on the hood of a car so hopefully it will dry. The only other thing i will get if i run into is heated seat switches, leather ebrake handles, chrome door handles, I30 electric gas door release.

 

guess you never went to the junkyards in newark?
I don't live in the states anymore but check out the ones in Newark off route 21; I always saw a few each time i went. Mostly 4th gens

 

hey zack342,i'm in easton... where's this junkyard that you got the tranny from? i haven't been able to find a junkyard nearby that has newer cars... guess i'm just not looking hard enough

 

Hollands in Billerica.

 

WHAT!?!?!?! Dude that's awesome! How much did they hit you for that? I thought I struck gold when I found a 5-speed i30t at a junkyard around here, then I saw the empty engine bay but I still thought it was like 1 in a million chance that I got the 5-speed wood trim for $10 I'm gonna grab one of those vlsd's! My tranny was suspect when I was inside it, those outer races shouldn't have been spinning like that. Dry dif. seal I noticed! very nice man. Thanks for telling us where it is! did they still have the headlights and taillights on that '99? screw it, I don't even care, I'm going there tomorrow for a muffler and a tan e-brake boot. I'm so happy right now, you made my night! thanks for linking that in my thread!

 

We should throw a little meet this weekend, even though my car might still be in dispicable shape with the chatter and no exhaust and all.

 

another one zack? sheesh. you buy and sell more than any one I know!

 

I never saw the car my tranny came out off. I do know it had black interior so you wouldn't be able to get the boot. Give me a call maybe we can both head down there saturday.

 

i know look at my feed back

 

I have that muffler and still have my oem b pipe....if you guys have a meet. I started a thread in the NE forum/regional about a meet mid late april even sooner if anyone is interested. There is a junkyard in Berkley that has atleast 5 or 6 4th gens and 2 or 3 I30s last time I was there, they have my exact car wrecked, very handy until it gets crushed or something.

 

should have a little shoot out the VLSD I30's VS. vlsd Maxima

 

Cool find Zack. Can never have enough trannys... especially with our differential side bearings. You never now when you're gonna need it!

 

WHAT THE HELL... i GOT THERE EVERY OTHER WEEK AND i NEVER SAW ONE FREAKING i30 THERE... I'M SO PISSED, I ALWAYS LOOKED FOR stuff like THAT...
What part of the juck are they located.......I know that place with the paml of mine hand almost...

edit: I just realized something, I never asked "where are the I30s, only the maximas"



ARRRRGGHGHGHGHHGH and I just did a tranny swap...AAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH......

well I guess, since I will have to do it agin this summer, I might as well look for another one (VLSD here i come) -> Stupid RMS

BTW there are not alot of maximas anymore, most off them are clean.

ONe more thing. if you wante heated seats switch, I have a pair from my oother car, still at home (and I'm not going to install them so if you want, just gime me a price on them) -> I need money lately.

 

got any spare heated seat switches u want to sell now

 

wow you guys are lucky..up here in Canada..it's next to impossible to find a 4th gen 5spd Maxima...let alone an I30 in the junk yard... i'm trying to get a damn clutch and brake pedal for the last 4 weeks now

 

I have always been lucky there but they move stuff in and out fast. I got my Leather ebrake handle,I30 headrest,Auto dimming rear view mirror and a buch of other stuff there over the last year. I love going there because they aren't on car-part and the guys make up there own prices.

I will look around for another set of switches.

 

I wouldn't make that generalization. With wrecking yards, it is all about being in the right place at the right time. Most of the stuff, you will not find online and some of the u-pull-it yards that I have been to are not even inventoried.

I pulled 2 ecus out of 5-speed maximas at Dom's in Courtice about a year and a half ago. The cars were both still there last summer when I was there scrounging around.

 

`
Yeah another thing too that i have seen personally is if a car isn't making them money they will get it out of the yard as quickly as possible.Why would you have something like an I30 sitting for a year taking a spot when no one is getting any parts from it. They crush it and get something else in. I have been to a yard and within a week the car was gone.

offtopic but how is your engine swap comming eng?

 

oh wow, that looks like a solid tranny, nice and clean... great find... I've been to the junkyards on my end, haven't found anything as good as urs

 

I have been driving the car on and off for about a month now, whenever there isn't any snow on the ground.

 

yea our junkyards here suck for imports....if u need blazer or sunfire parts comes to buffalo.....there is one in Holland with a few maximas but nothing good

 

Devin when are you going to post some pics of that beast so i can see how it looks with the wheels

Its kinda funny i just found an old thread i started from last year around this time when i went to the junkyard.
Check you the goodies i got then.
